Klikkit is a seamless, versatile, cost-effective and easy-to-use solution that removes complexity from the hands of elderly. It is non-invasive with long battery life (+1 year) & exchangeable batteries. It can be applied to any form of treatment, medication or action, e.g. drink water. ‘One size fits all’ solution that supports high mobility (i.e. 3x3cm2 button) and offers the possibility of constant, real-time trackability of the elderly compliance to any aspect of treatment (pharmacological or non-pharmacological) by care organisations and care professionals. The buttons provided can monitor any type of treatment ( medications of any type), but also elderly habits (water intake, activation and physiotherapy exercises, hygiene,) or even carer obligations (e.g. regular patient rotation to pressure ulcers due to decubitus). The Klikkit dashboard for carers enables care organisations to perform data driven patient counselling, real-time patient monitoring and timely intervention by providing useful data insights on adherence and treatment evolution both for a single elderly and as aggregated population data.
Our solution can be applied to any form and aspect of treatment, it is based on behavioural science principles and it is proven to uniquely nudge the elderly leading to a constant reinforcement of positive health habits :
Along with the proven increase in patient adherence of 38%, we believe that Klikkit can: (1) Decrease the number of nurse visits to patients by 60%, (2) Decrease the number of adverse events (overmedication as well as undermedication) by 75%, (3) Decrease the nurse reporting of daily tasks by 30%. (4) Decrease care utilisation due to non-compliance. (As a reference, if we consider only pharmacological compliance, the cost for per EU citizen 65+ non-compliant to medication is averaged to €1.750 a year).
Additionally, given the large number of senior citizens’ compliance data, Klikkit will aid several programs, strategies and organisations that are seeking longer and healthier lives, like CHRODIS Joint Action with the objective to help EU countries and regions exchange good practices in tackling elderly care with particular focus on long term therapies for chronic conditions. Its scalable nature to other segments, makes the Klikkit an attractive solution addressing the goals of the eHealth Action Plan 2012 - 2020, that provides a roadmap to empower elderly and healthcare workers, to link up devices and technologies, and to invest in research towards the personalised medicine of the future.
